I don't know why he does. It's mainly bullshit and personal opinion rather than factual information.

The first line of everything he wrote suggests just that..

"According to the mainstream media, the talking heads and Govbots, we're just on the vergeof "recovery""

While there is an argument that we may or may not be on the verge of a recovery, the facts suggest we are slowly trending upwards. Instead of writing about crap, why not write about the positives of what's happened the last few years? But that will never happen, at least not by someone who's got a personal agenda against the president the way Scrump does. The majority of his posts/threads clearly point out the fact that he's 100% biased.

The bottom line is the economy is better now than it was 2-3 years ago. It's funny how the ones with the agenda ALWAYS fail to point that out.

Just how the economy is better than it was 2 or 3 years ago please give an example.

How about you browse on over to the Daily Job Cuts Website and take a count of how many jobs we are losing due to layoffs, closures or chapter 11 or 7. Then browse to the companion page “who is hiring” and keep in mild the words could, over next x number of years, projected or seasonal nowhere closes the gap as to the jobs lost.

Then go to YouTube and look up topics such as obamaville, tent cities, or homeless and can you really see an improvement in the economy after watching the plights of these forgotten Americans.

What do they think we are blind? Recovery? That's just insane.We will never "recover". Its only going to get worse. Who are they trying to kid? Themselves? Because I am not buying what they are selling. And most people I know wouldn't either.

Yes they do... they count on it.

And at this point, I don't think they really care if we know what's happening or not... it's really late in the game.

I don't think they care either. They aren't even trying to hide that they are lying anymore.

It's just ridiculous... you can almost hear the smirks.

I can't watch any of it (economic reports from the MSM & DC) live these days... it just pisses me off & that's unproductive.

I wait & read summaries & transcripts.

"I Have Sworn upon the Altar of God... Eternal Hostility against every form of Tyranny over the mind of man." -Thomas Jefferson, Sep. 23, 1800

we cannot use gold, or silver, or land as capital, as the state will crackdown on alternate money.

we are slaves to a state sanctioned monopoly of money.

we are subjected to a fiat, debt-based monetary system that is falling apart.

the only way to free ourselves is to enact freedom of money by civilly disobeying government currency laws. only when there is complete freedom of money will there be economic freedom. we must abolish state/central bank control of money.

we were warned about this as far back as the civil war/reconstruction. let's not wait for the financial system to suffer a final catastrophe before we build a new and better system (a monetary system built upon freedom of money and using tangible assets as money, rather than a monopoly of fiat debt) a system that can properly serve the people instead of serving vicious usurers.

obviously, a one world currency system would still be a monopoly and wouldn't remedy anything. we need monetary freedom.

I don't watch them either. I get physically ill. I have to read later, summarize for myself from transcripts. Its just like a slap in the face when I watch live. Not the type to anger easily, it is just not something I find productive. But lately I have been finding myself getting angry when I watch. I mean a violent part of me starts surfacing, fantasizing and thats not something I want to foster. So I opt out of the live stuff. I do watch the state of the unions though live if they are on something vital.

Karma takes LIFETIMES to work itself out.

And all this economic doom shit IS THE PUNISHMENT for people who VOTED FOR POLITICIANS who support abortion and homosexuality. What did God do to Sodom and Gomorrah?

The wages of sin is death.

Same shit happened with Jimmy Carter. Who can afford to buy oil contracts, commodity futures, gold and silver (not to mention vintage guitars.) Yes the rich. While the poor eat shit. As usual. That is the paradox of it -- that Obama's (and the libtard left's) actions result in a transfer of wealth FROM THE POOR TO THE RICH. (And not the other way around -- study your history; what was the end result of Jimmy Carter's reign, I ask you -- were "low-income" people benefited? Were lazy fucking slobs benefited?)

Amerika crossed the line when it repealed DADT. I heard a word from God -- that was the last straw.

I hope Obama serves a SECOND TERM. Because I cannot think of a more fitting punishment for the assclowns who voted for him.

msm reports about the economy always end up reminding me of weekend at bernies

All empires must fall at some point...America is not exempt...as much as I DO love my country, I know it doesn't have a chance unless people can stop and take personal responsibility instead of diving into the bickering of left vs right...repub or demo...and all the other fights about belief that were created to make people forget the wonderful creation they are and instead choose to hate each other.

I can barely even watch news anymore...it's gotten so ridiculous...the amounts of time and money and energy that people are given to spew a bunch of empty opinions on a bunch of empty ideas.

It only matters to the bunch of zombies blindly following the garbage that is shoveled into their minds daily who are out there regurgitating it to other people.

Nice newsletter though Scrump...can't say I watched any of the videos...but I get the overall point.

Once again, notice how it rose in 2009 to the first part of 2010 and has began to drop ever since?

Something else I put into it is the basic eye test. Drive around. Go to stores. Go on vacation. There are more and more people returning to do these things every day. And that is what the economy needs the most. After all, it can't grow if people aren't spending money. Not to mention, if nobody spends money, we have absolutely NO chance to trim our debt.

Look, I know that there are a lot of people out there who are not satisfied with the job Obama has done thus far. There are things I'm pretty damn disappointed in also. The thing that pisses me off the most is that he gives in to the Republicans too easily. And remember, the Republicans fight him on EVERYTHING. However, if he doesn't give in then he gets nothing through, such as the unemployment benefits extension that helped millions of people get through the holidays. I understand it adds more to our debt, but I'd rather it added to the debt than to have caused people that lost their jobs not being able to pay bills, having heat through the winter, and being able to buy food for their kids. Nobody should ever want someone to go through that, period.

What befuddles me the most is that people are running around putting all of the blame on this administration. I mean where were all of those people in 2007-2008 when all of this bullshit really got going? It's funny, no it's pathetic, how easily people let their personal agendas cloud their memories that much.

Anyway, for anyone to blame this crap on Obama is just plain stupid. Nobody can 100% support that at all. Hell, I just showed the REAL statistics and, from what I've seen, we are making small steps towards recovery. Very small, sure, but steps nonetheless which was better than where we were 2 years ago.

So, people like Scrump can continue to throw around their babbling bullshit with their hidden agendas all they'd like. The statistics along with just opening your eyes and taking a look around speak the real truth. We're not anywhere close to being back yet. But we are FINALLY heading in the right direction. And considering how bad our economy was, I think we all owe just a little bit of thanks to our President. At least he's trying.

This thread is fear mongering bullshit. The economy isn't going to collapse. In fact the U.S. and global economies are improving dramatically. Unemployment is way down, manufacturing is up. You impatient fools expect instant results. In 6 months to a year everyone will forget about the recession...economies will be booming again.

I have been reading scrump's newsletters for a year or so and from that i ascertain that he is intelligent in his notations and observations but is somewhat conservative. Most of his newsletters did not contain the doom and gloom that this one does. They all had a message though GET READY its coming.

There is no stopping it, and for the first time i find myself believing that it is just the beginning. This is not the worst, it is just the start of things to come. Those with food, resources and knowledge to get what they need will survive. Those without will perish. Get ready folks the shit is about to hit the fan.

1st of all GOOD POST OP! Dire news but you had links to back up everything. It took me the better part of an hour to read all that.

2nd I think all these haters are dead wrong. Maybe you guys are doing good, you have your nice big escalade to commute to your nice jobs and your living a middle class lifestyle. I'm not. I've lost house after house after house. I've been looking for work for years and there is just nothing out there that pays more than minimum wage. It's so bad people are rioting to get a mcdonalds job. WTF. Let me tell you, living on $8.50/hr 30 hours per week is hell. My car died on me and I couldn't afford insurance anyway so I got a bike instead. No medical, no dental, can't afford food so I was just starving away. Lost 6 inches from my waistline. Had to buy skinny jeans and cut extra holes in my belts. You might say, go back to school and shit but dammit I went to school for 5 years. I have multiple degrees and diplomas and certifications. The jobs just don't exist, and when they do the demand is insane, 500 people apply on the day a job becomes available.

Well. My current plan is to move home with my parents and start farming. I'll grow my own vegetables, hunt animals, fish. I'm selling everything I own and I'm gonna buy seeds and fertilizer and guns and ammo. Maybe a compound bow and arrows. My goal is 100% self sufficiency. My parents house is mostly paid off on a 30 year mortgage. It's by the river so there's a water source and fishing is possible. I expect society will collapse completely into a Mad Max style anarchy in the near future and my only priority is the survival of myself and my parents and maybe a select few friends I can trust. I'm going tribal. There's no other option.

See the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The CEO of Goldman Sachs gets a 12 million dollar bonus and the BP corporation claims the best year in safety... I mean... really? seriously? It's obvious the world has gone completely mad. The people with money and power have become so utterly insane and corrupt that there is nothing to do but go into pure survivalist mode. I wish I could fight back against this brutal class warfare and nazi eugenics and disaster capitalism but I'm just one man. All I can do is try to save whats most important to me.
